Fat Grafting: A Natural Way to Enhance Facial Contours

Although many patients want to lose excess fat, too little fat can also affect your look. Dr. Kenneth Smart can perform fat grafting at his Frisco, TX, practice to help you look youthful and refreshed. Removing unwanted fat from another area of your body, Dr. Smart will purify the cells and use them to boost the volume of your face or fill in deep wrinkles. Fat grafting can enhance your cheeks, chin, and lips. Contact Frisco Plastic Surgery & MedSpa to learn more about fat grafting and whether the procedure is right for you.

Fat Grafting: What to Expect

You will first meet with Dr. Smart to review your goals to ensure that fat grafting is the right solution. When a patient undergoes fat grafting, liposuction will be done on another area of your body. You will choose an area that you want to enhance, such as your abdomen, buttocks, thighs, or arms. In many cases, Dr. Smart can perform VASER® Lipo.

Once Dr. Smart has removed the unwanted fat cells, he will place them in a high-power centrifuge. The force will result in pure fat cells, which he will safely inject under your skin. For this part of the procedure, he will numb the treatment area and inject the cells at varying depths. This method provides subtle, lifelike results. You may require several treatment regimens for optimal effects.

Is Fat Grafting for You?

Fat grafting may be a good solution for any of the following issues:

Lost volume in your cheeks

A weak or receding chin

Deep creases around your mouth and nose

Noticeable horizontal wrinkles on your forehead

Bags under your eyes

Before it is determined that fat grafting is for you, Dr. Smart will evaluate your overall health. Though the treatment involves very few risks, cosmetic surgery is not recommended if you have a compromised immune system or blood disorder. Additionally, because fat grafting involves liposuction, you should be at or near your ideal weight, as weight loss can significantly impact the final results.

Benefits of Fat Grafting

Fat grafting can help make your face appear younger, and more invigorated. It can significantly enhance your cheeks, chin, and lips. Since fat grafting involves a liposuction procedure, you will be able to enhance other areas of your body, for a more toned appearance.

Fat grafting involves minimal discomfort, and offers a quick recovery time. It also poses very few risks, since the procedure uses your own tissues, leaving less chance of allergic reaction, or your body rejecting a synthetic material. Finally, your rejuvenated appearance can boost your self-confidence, positively impacting your professional and social life.
